As such, no background in algebra or number theory is assumed, and the book begins with a discussion of the basic number theory that is needed. The approach taken is algor...(展开全部)

This is the second edition of a popular book on combinatorics, a subject dealing with ways of arranging and distributing objects, and which involves ideas from geometry, algebra and analysis. The breadth of the theory is matched by that of its applications, which include topics as diverse as codes, circuit design and algorithm complexity. It has thus become essential for worker...(展开全部)

A modern introduction to three areas of number theory: quadratic forms, Dirichlet's density theorem and modular forms. "...Accessible to graduate or even undergraduate students, yet even the advanced mathematician will enjoy reading it." - American Scientist.

This is a comprehensive textbook on modern algebra written by an internationally renowned specialist. It covers material traditionally found in advanced undergraduate and basic graduate courses and presents it in a lucid style. The author includes almost no technically difficult proofs, and reflecting his point of view on mathematics, he tries wherever possible to replace calcu...(展开全部)

The primary purpose of this book is to prepare students for empirical research in economics. But it also equips those who plan to specialize in econometric theory and those whose empirical interests are in sociology or business. Aimed at first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates, "A Course in Econometrics" covers the fundamentals - classical regression and simult...(展开全部)

Peter Ladefoged's A COURSE IN PHONETICS is the hallmark text for the study of linquistics. Retaining the trademark writing style and approach of previous editions, the Fifth Edition begins with technical terms required for describing speech and transcription symbols before moving on to the phonetics of English and other languages. An exciting bonus CD-ROM contains more than 4,0...(展开全部)
